The Details
Background
In 2023, the New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) instructed employers to create an Employer Access account and provide an email address for electronic correspondence with the NJDOL Divisions of Employer Accounts and Unemployment Insurance. The NJDOL stated it would use the email provided to send updates to employers.
Updated Termination Reporting Requirements
Effective immediately, New Jersey employers must report all employee separations directly to the NJDOL electronically through the NJDOL Employer Access portal, regardless of the reason for separation (layoff, termination, resignation, or retirement).
Note: Employers must provide separation information immediately when an employee becomes unemployed. Employers that fail to report separations may face penalties.
Next Steps
New Jersey employers should ensure that they are registered with the NJDOL Employer Access portal and are reporting all separations through the portal.
